Article : EXO, "BTS and Wanna One are spreading K-pop around the world, we thank them" Source: Ten Asia via Nate 1. [+397, -124] BTS surpassed EXO a long time ago. Their popularity is no joke in South America, Europe, and the US. Charting #1 on the billboard chart is a great result but there's only a few articles on it. There must be some controlling behind. 2. [+384, -109] EXO's popularity is big enough but honestly speaking, the reason why BTS succeeded that much in the US is because of their own aura. It's something EXO couldn't do ㅋㅋ 3. [+363, -93] BTS is the trend but they don't get recognized because they're from a small company. 4. [+63, -6] BTS and EXO only have a year gap of debut years, right? But BTS still feels fresh and they have good concepts. Especially with the outfits and the song during Fire, I knew they'd do really well ㅋㅋ They started getting responses since Dope. Dope still looks cool. The Gaon fancams of Dope are really dope ㅋ...
